Fighting Games News Roundup
It’s been a little while since I’ve updated the world’s greatest fighting games blog, so I think that it’s only fair that we catch up on four of the biggest fighting game franchises that are set to see new versions in the next little while.
We heard that the Castlevania franchise would be making its way over to the Nintendo Wii, but we didn’t know that it was going to be a fighting game. A series of fresh screenshots have been released that give us a glimpse into Castlevania Judgment. I was never really into the Castlevania franchise, but now that it’s got a 3D fighting game, I may have to learn the backgrounds on some of these awesome-looking characters.
A steady flow of news has been slowly trickling out surrounding Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe. From what we hear, Ed Boon will make sure that the Mortal Kombat characters will still do fatalities, as will the DC villains, but the superheroes — like Batman and Superman — will offer something more akin to brutalities. It has also been revealed that Flash will be in the game, running circles around the competition. Now we’ve just go to wonder if they’ll allow for the decapitation of Superman. I doubt it. I started to lose interest in Mortal Kombat after it went 3D.
The character selection screen for Soul Calibur IV on the Xbox 360 has been leaked, giving us a direct look at Darth Vader and the rest of the SCIV crew. Oh, and contrary to earlier rumors, God of War’s Kratos will not be making an appearance.
The Legend of Chun-Li is still in production, but it seems that another Street Fighter movie is in the works as well. I’m not sure how official it is, but The Legend of Hadouken looks to be a lot more interesting than Kristen Kreuk (sorry fanboys). This movie (trailer above) follows the story of Ken and Ryu.
